Perfection! I have to agree with other reviewers, 1906 Lodge is Coronado's hidden gem.
This lovely inn does everything right: from easy, friendly check-in (they walked us to our room and showed us around), to the delicious breakfasts and the perfectly done rooms!
The suites are beautiful with period furniture, superior sateen sheets with dreamy cozy soft cotton comforters, a pile of perfect down pillows, maybe the best cottony towels I've ever felt anywhere.
The pictures don't do this inn justice. We had a two-sided fireplace (one side faced our perfectly cozy King-size bed, the other side faced the great jacuzzi tub). The bathroom is large with black and white period tile work, a huge shower. The entire room, the bathroom, the entire inn is postcard perfection.
The staff is friendly, but not intrusive. They are helpful, but not pushy. The daily breakfast is yummy. You start with coffee, juices, fruit, cereal, pastries, and it is supplemented with a hot entree.
Free underground parking (accessed with your room key) adds to the seamless experience. It is about two blocks off Orange, however we found this to be perfect in every way. You are close to Orange, the shopping, restaurants and fun, but it is so quiet it is a world apart. You will sleep like a baby here. Wonderful service. Friendly staff. Super clean AND cozy B&B rooms --- and --- free wine & apps at 5 p.m. daily.
Thank you 1906 Lodge for a wonderful first visit to the San Diego area. Your hospitality was warm, wonderful and remarkable!
Room: 5/5: delightful period furniture, superior linens, views overlooking courtyard fountain, fireplaces, windowseats! Excellent!
Price: 5/5, worth what may seem high for a B&B. Trust me.
Value: 5/5, Superior: Cozy, quiet, superior service. Wonderful breakfast. Free daily appetizers & wine (5-6 pm in parlor in main house). -

My boyfriend surprised me on my last birthday and took me here. If you are going to stay in Coronado - you should stay here. It is so quaint and small and the room was SO clean and cute. Each room is different from the next. The staff is all very friendly and they answer questions about the area. They are always working hard every time you see them. It is very personal service that you cannot get from the big hotels.
More that I liked about the Inn. They had a wine and cheese hour every day at 4pm with little snacks and wine. You can sit outside in the cute courtyard and just soak in the atmosphere. They also have a really tasty breakfast every morning. Every day there is something different. There are also refrigerators outside the rooms with waters, and you can keep food in there if you want.
Parking is free (underground and gated) and the location is awesome. A few steps and you are at the Hotel Del anyway. So why pay their crazy prices?
I loved this place and I would never stay anywhere else in Coronado! -

THE SHORT: Although I have only been to Coronado once and thus have only ever stayed at 1906 Lodge, I feel quite confident in saying there is no better place to stay. It is well appointed, well run, has a perfect location, has free underground parking, is not too big or too small, and as clean as any place I have ever stayed. Like unbelievably clean. Do not look any further, just stay there.
THE LONG: My wife and I stayed here for two nights in May in the "Plunge" suite. It was perfectly located, both within the city and on the property. I highly recommend the room, which comes with a large spa tub. Things I loved:
1. The free underground parking. Most other places charge for parking, including the Glorietta Bay Inn ($10 a night).
2. The location. Yes, the Hotel del Coronado is a magnificent building, yes Frank Baum may have written some Wizard of Oz books while staying there, and yes it's on the water, but it's expensive, it's old, and it's so big you can expect to spend 20 minutes a day walking to and from your room to the property's edge. The 1906 Lodge on the other hand took only 20 seconds to walk to and from my room (not exaggerating).
3. The 5 pm wine hour in the parlor. My wife and I caught the last 15 minutes of the wine hour and found we had the parlor completely to ourselves and sat there for about an hour and a half drinking wine, reading and relaxing. The staff saw the wine and food platters were in use so they waited until we were done to clear (over an hour after it was supposed to be over).
4. The cleanliness. My wife is a serious clean freak and she couldn't find one thing -- not ONE thing -- that wasn't up to her standard. This includes fire extinguisher cabinets, doorknobs, railings, carpets, everything. I've never seen anything like it.
If I think long enough, I could probably come up with another 4 or 5 things to list, but you get the point. Great deal for a great weekend.Comment from Sue G. of 1906 Lodge 6/29/2011

A charming, hidden gem on the island. Perfect size for a bed & breakfast, 17-unit (if I recall correctly). The innkeeper was just so attentive and sweet.
I used to think that bed and breakfast is nothing but converted old buildings with kitschy decor and manage by some retirees. Well, this B&B proved me wrong.
The building is very low key, appears just like a single family residence from the street view but within it is a well manicured courtyard, featuring a water fountain and relaxing patio seatings. The building is cleaner than many hotels I stayed at (Hilton in Mission Valley, Sheraton and Bristol Hotels in Downtown SD). The Omni Hotel and W Hotel are comparable to the 1906 Lodge but you will definitely be spending easily $350 or more for a room at these hotels, also don't count on the personal service and homy breakfast in the morning. The carpet and furnishings are spotless. Rooms are nicely air conditioned and tastefully decorated; none of that corporate furnishings.
Garage parking spaces are underground, compact spaces with limited turning radius. Otherwise, I had an absolutely perfect stay at the 1906 Lodge and look forward to my next stay.
I didn't do much on the Coronado Island and was driving to the Gaslamp, Downtown and Hillcrest areas. The drive was short and I enjoyed driving across the ridge, so romantic and great for pictures too (for the passenger). -

If you are visiting Coronado Island, this is the place to stay! After years of staying at fancy resorts and letting them squeeze every nickel and dime they could out of me, I opted for something different and it was the best hotel decision I have ever made. Don't stay at the Hotel Del and get raped on room, parking, resort fees, and five dollar soft drinks!
I took my girlfriend there for her birthday and it was a wonderful stay. The staff was very friendly and they helped me with my dinner reservation. I can't say enough nice things about Lori and Denese, they were fantastic. I loved the location of the lodge; just a few short blocks from all the action of Coronado Island, yet it resides on a quiet residential street away from all the noise.
Let me sum it up for you:
PROS:
- Reasonable cost, no added extra fees
- Free Parking
- Free Bottle Water
- Awesome Breakfast included
- Free Wine and Cheese Happy Hour
- This place is spotless clean!
- Fantastic Staff!
- Great Location
Cons
NONE
Skip the Hotel Del, and stay here. You'll love it! -

This place is so nice and peaceful. From the moment I checked in to the moment I left, there were great impressions.
The day I checked in, upon arrival, there were wine and snacks offered to me. There was never that awkward forced socializing that you sometimes would get staying at a B&B.
Every morning there was a filling and delicious breakfast.
Additionally, there was free underground parking.
This is a place that I would tell friends and family to stay for sure. It was so peaceful and quiet. You will truly feel like you are on vacation staying here. -

The staff is very friendly and helpful. Not only do they have a great breakfast, but a great wine and cheese happy hour each evening we were there. The bed was extremely comfortable and the bedding was the best I've ever had at a hotel. We stayed in one of the smaller rooms, but it was still really nice. The room was shower only with no tub, which is perfect for me, and a huge shower at that.
The only downside is that if your room is in the main building sound tends to transmit well through the building from the dining area or other rooms.
The lodge does have underground parking, and you can park in their front driveway when you first arrive as you'll need your key to enter the parking. -

Such a charming place!
I want to thank the lodge for hosting my wedding party and family! We had such an amazing time staying and getting ready for the big day there! From adding little black towels for our makeup to bringing me my favorite foods throughout the day while we got ready. The lodge and there staff really made me feel special. The beds were the most comfortable hotel beds I have ever slept in, not to mention the giant jacuzzi tub that was so relaxing. My memories of my wedding will also include my time at the lodge. Thank you for everything -

I had made reservations at the 1906 Lodge back in August for a friends wedding that was in Coronado Beach. When I called, Susan was so sweet over the phone while making the reservations. Sadly my Fiancé and I had to cancel our reservation cause I have an aunt that lives that way which would save us some money. But even when I called to cancel, Susan was still incredibly sweet. The next time I need a getaway, I will be coming back.

The Lodge is a beautiful little B&B in a great location on a residential street one block from Orange Ave and two blocks from the Hotel Del. There's no view to speak of, but it doesn't matter. The rooms are charming, each with its own decor and special details. We stayed in the Bayview room facing the street so we did experience some street noise Saturday night, but overall it was fine. Sun & Mon nights were very peaceful. Our huge king-size bed was so comfortable it was ridiculous. I'm not a good sleeper, but I slept like a baby.
The staff was incredibly friendly and the breakfast is delicious and made fresh daily. Private, secure parking under the building is included in the room rate so we drove down with our bikes (which we also stored downstairs) and left the car parked the whole time. Everything was easily reached by bike or on foot. I can't say enough about the Lodge. The rates are excellent too, not just for Coronado but for a B & B as nice as this.
I look forward to staying here again. -

A recently restored historical gem, this beautiful hotel had the most comfortable bed I have ever slept on. There was wine and cheese in the afternoon before we took a walk on the beach. Went to dinner at Burger Lounge, which was great. Very quiet - and romantic. They have a great breakfast with eggs, muffins, yogurt, granola etc. and super coffee. Only thing I suggested to them was to add a power strip since I had to recharge my computer in the bathroom .. and they said they would add that. They had easy free wi-fi in rooms and common area, which made blogging in the parlor in the afternoon a joy.

1906 Lodge was first rate. We stayed in the Silver Strand king suite. With a tv sitting area, a tableside sitting area AND a small balcony, this suite was very welcoming and useful. The double sided fireplace is incredibly romantic and it cranked out the heat, even if we didn't really need it in July. The bathtub is big enough to swim in. The furnishings and finishes are new and sparkly. The breakfast was divine and varied from morning to morning. The location is outstanding, being a block from Orange Ave, the main drag in Coronado, and the Hotel Del and the beach.
The courtyard is lovely and when the landscaping fills in, it will be heavenly. All in all, a memorable B&B. -

Cute, Charming, Quiet, Friendly, Clean would be just a few words to describe this hidden gem. Just a block off the main street in gorgeous Coronado. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The rooms are all unique and individually designed. I would highly recommend this over the traditional commercialized locations.
